Día de los Muertos altars are used to celebrate the lives of the dead Nov. 1 and 2. 210 SA’s Emily Messer talks to two local artists who incorporate war in their altars and one man who will be giving a tour of San Antonio cemeteries to look at public altars during the holiday. They all agree on one thing — Día de los Muertos is a time of celebration, not mourning. Download or listen to the podcast here.
